[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- 
Finally have better words. My dissatisfaction with impact is that it actually doesn’t make teachers better- it makes them scammy. It doesn’t help students learn- it creates artificial test scores. 
I left bottom 40 scores because yes- I was getting the bonuses but the teachers who are attracted to those schools- for the bonuses are bottom feeders. I once had an ELA coach run a PD about how to inflate TAS.

I’m sad because all the pro impact people can say is ‘don’t come for my money. No one even claims it works.

FWIW I’d love to pay you all- to stay home. Bonuses and all. Take it- and go.

Oh? Yet why aren't your students on approaching grade level? It's always oh but testing is racist, iReady is racist, my students have too much trauma, behaviors, the parents, truancy.  Doesn't seem like any of you want to do your actual jobs. You never bring ideas to the table except 'Impact bad, Impact make me sad' We can have all the empathy in the world but at some point crying does nothing.

No teacher here who likes the Impact money has stated anything indicating they don't also love teaching or find other ways to develop professionally, I'd hope that was implied. But since the message isn't clear I do. I pay for my own professional development, get grants, etc. I love teaching and if you want to use personal attacks so be it.

It's really ok if some teacher thinks I'm scammy, I'm not stressed, my students are making 1.5+ years of progress in a year, and I'm getting my money. [/quote]
